I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:
I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
I will apply, for the benefit of the sick user, all measures which are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
I will remember that there is art to medicine software as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug need for another dependency.
I will not be ashamed to say "I know not," nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed. for a patient's recovery.
I will respect the privacy of my patients users, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. Above all, I must not play at God.
I will remember that I do not treat serve a fever chart, a cancerous growth data point, but a sick human being, whose illness use of my work may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick user.
I will prevent disease data breaches whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure permanently compromised user data.
I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.
If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing serving those who seek my help.
